MCQ 1021 Mark
Electrical energy is transmitted over large distances at high alternating voltages. Which of the following statements is (are) correct?
  • A
    For a given power level, there is a lower current.
  • B
    Lower current implies less power loss.
  • C
    Transmission lines can be made thinner.
  • D
    It is easy to reduce the voltage at the receiving end using step-down transformers.
Answer
  1. For a given power level, there is a lower current.
  2. Lower current implies less power loss.
  1. It is easy to reduce the voltage at the receiving end using step-down transformers.

Solution:

Key Concept: Power loss due to transmisssion lines having resistance (R) and Irms current flowing in the circuit is I2rms R.

The power is to be transmitted over the large distances ar high alternating voltages, so current flowing through the wires will be low because of given power (P).

For a given power level, we find that

P = ErmsIrms (Irms is low when Erms is high)

Powor loss = I2rms R = low ($\because$ Irms is low)

Now at the receiving end high voltage is reduced by using step-down transformers.

MCQ 1071 Mark
A coil of self-inductance L is connected in series with a bulb B and an AC source. Brightness of the bulb decreases when.
  • A
    Frequency of the AC source is decreased
  • B
    Number of turns in the coil is reduced
  • C
    A capacitance of reactance XC ​= XL​ is included in the same circuit
  • D
    An iron rod is inserted in the coil
Answer
  1. An iron rod is inserted in the coil

Explanation:

As the iron rod is inserted, the magnetic field inside the coil magnetizes the iron increasing the magnetic field inside it. Hence. the inductance of the coil increases. Consequently, the inductive reactance of the coil increases. As a result, a larger fraction of the applied AC voltage appears across the lnductor, leaving less voltage across the bulb.Therefore' the brightness of the light bulb decreases.

As the frequency of an ac circuit increases, the current first increases and then decreases. What combination of circuit elements is most likely to comprise the circuit?
  • A
    Inductor and capacitor.
  • B
    Resistor and inductor.
  • C
    Resistor and capacitor.
  • D
    Resistor, inductor and capacitor.
Answer
  1. Inductor and capacitor.
  1. Resistor, inductor and capacitor.

Solution:

Compare the given circuit by predicting the variation in their reactances with frequency. So, that then we can decide the elements.

Reactance of an inductor of inductance L is $\text{X}_\text{L}=2\pi\text{vL}$, where v is the frequency of the AC circuit.

Xc = Reactance of the capacitive circuit

$=\frac{1}{2\pi\text{fC}}$

With an increase in frequency in (f) of an AC circuit, R remains constant, inductive reactance (XL) increases and capacitive reactance (XC) decreases. For an L-C-R circuit,

Z- Impedance of the circuit,

$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+(\text{X}_\text{L}-\text{X}_\text{C})^2}$

$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\bigg(2\pi\text{vL}-\frac{1}{2\pi\text{vC}}\bigg)^2}$

As frequency (v) increases, Z decreases and at certain value of the frequency known as resonant frequency (v0), impedance Z is minimum that is Zmin = R current varies inversely with impedance and at Zmin current is maximum.

In a series RLC circuit that is operating above the resonant frequency, the current.
  • A
    lags the applied voltage
  • B
    leads the applied voltage
  • C
    is in phase with the applied voltage
  • D
    is zero
Answer
  1. lags the applied voltage

Explanation:

Capacitive reactance is given by. $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$

Inductive reactance is given by $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{wL}}$

At resonance, $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{X}_\text{C}}\Rightarrow \text{w}\text{L}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$

But a frequency higher than resonance frequency, XL​ > XC

So the circuit behaves as a inductive circuit at a frequency higher that resonant frequency and the current lags behind the voltage in an inductive circuit.

The power loss is less in transmission lines, when:
  • A
    Voltage is less but current is more
  • B
    Both voltage and current are more
  • C
    Voltage is more but current is less
  • D
    Both voltage and current are less
Answer
  1. Voltage is more but current is less

Explanation:

The power cables have some resistance. 

Power lost in the wires can be calculated as P = I2R with R as the resistance of the wires and I as the current that passes through them.

Power at the load is P = VI. 

From this one can see that if voltage is increased by say n times, then only $\frac{1}{\text{n}}$​ the current is required to deliver the same power. However, if $\frac{1}{\text{n}}$​ current is passed

on the same wires, only $\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}$ of the power will be lost.

In an LCR circuit inductance is changed from L to $\frac{\text{L}}{2}.$ To keep the same resonance frequency, C should be changed to.
  • A
    $2\text{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{C}}{2}$
  • C
    $4\text{C}$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{C}}{4}$
Answer
  1. $2\text{C}$

Explanation:

Resonance frequency, $(\text{f})=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}}}$

For f to be constant the product LC must be constant.

So, if we half the value of inductance then the value of capacitance must be doubled.

C should be changed to 2C.

Reciprocal of Impedance is:
  • A
    Susceptance
  • B
    Conductance
  • C
    Admittance
  • D
    Transconductance
Answer
  1. Admittance

Explanation:

Impedance is the opposition a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied.

Admittance is a measure of how easily a circuit or device will allow a current to flow.

Admittance is defined as $\text{Y}=\frac{1}{\text{Z}}$

where Z is the impedance of the circuit.

In an A.C. circuit, the current flowing in inductance is $\text{I}=5\sin\Big(\frac{100-\text{t}-\pi}{2}\Big)$ ampers and the potential difference is $\text{V}=200\sin(100\text{t})$ volts. The power consumption is equal to.
  • A
    1000 watt
  • B
    40 watt
  • C
    20 watt
  • D
    Zero
Answer
  1. Zero

Explanation:

Power, $\text{P}=\text{I}_\text{rms}\times\text{V}_\text{rms}\times\cos\phi$

In the given problem, the phase difference between voltage and current is $\frac{\text{P}}{2}$ Hence

$\text{P}=\text{I}_\text{rms}\times\text{V}_\text{rms}\times\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}\big)=0$

In alternating current.
  • A
    The direction of current is always positive
  • B
    The direction of current is always negative
  • C
    The direction of current changes constantly
  • D
    The direction of current is either positive or negative
Answer
  1. The direction of current changes constantly

Explanation:

Electric charge in alternating current (AC) changes direction periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.

In series L - C - R circuit voltage drop across resistance is 8V, across inductor is 6V and across capacitor is 12V. Then.
  • A
    Voltage of the source will be leading in the circuit.
  • B
    Voltage drop across each element will be less than the applied voltage.
  • C
    Power factor of the circuit will be $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    None of the above.
Answer
  1. None of the above.

Explanation:

$\text{V}=\sqrt{\text{V}_\text{R}^2+(\text{V}_\text{C}-\text{V}_\text{L})^2}=10\text{V}$

VC​ > VL​, hence current leads the voltage.

Power factor $=\cos\phi=\frac{8}{10}=0.8$

Answer
  1. $\text{R}$

Explanation:

At resonance $\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}=\omega\text{L}$

The power loss in an AC circuit is Erms​ Irms​, when in the circuit there is only.
  • A
    C
  • B
    L
  • C
    R
  • D
    L, C, and R
Answer
  1. R

Explanation:

Inductors and capacitors bring a phase difference between the voltage and current in the circuit, hence changing the p.f. When only a resistance is present, Poer factor = 1.
The power loss in an AC circuit = Erms ​Irms ​Power factor.
